Appreciations
Groups
I met Alex while participating in a non-violent communication group back in winter 2020. She led the group with warmth, openness, and intention, with a seemingly unending supply of patience and presence. Alex embodied the spirit of NVC through sharing her own feelings and needs, setting a comfortable stage for us to follow suit. Her capacity for feedback impressed me, and I strive to echo that attitude in my leadership roles. Personally, the experience in the NVC workshop helped me apply what I was learning to my everyday life, leaving a lasting imprint on my communication and empathy skills. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone interested in improving their understanding of themselves and others.

I attended the NVC practice group with Alex in 2020. my experience with her was fantastic and incredibly eye opening! Alex is so caring, kind, and very understanding. She really helped guide me to open my eyes to empathy and how to connect with those around me. My biggest takeaway from the course was how to truly understand empathy and use it to improve my own relationships with my family. I would highly recommend this course to those who want to improve their life through their relationships and self realization.

Alex was a fantastic leader for the 9 week NVC course I took with her. If you are looking for a means of better communication and understanding with yourself and others, I would highly recommend taking a course with her. I absolutely loved the warmth and safe space Alex created for all of us while still leading us through emotional topics. I have learned a plethora of new information and truly appreciate Alex’s knowledge on NVC topics and her empathetic guidance.

My husband and I were looking for support for our own relationship challenges while also gaining tools for personal growth. I am so grateful to have come across Alex's NVC class! It checked off all the boxes we were looking for to help nurture our marriage. It was structured in a way that worked well with our budget, schedule, and it was a great a sense of community with it being a diverse group of people who participated. We learned so much and I often think back with deep gratitude that we had the opportunity to learn from Alex right before the most challenging year of our lives. I can say wholeheartedly that having learned NVC I am better able to connect with others, myself, and navigate tough conversations feeling confident & empathetic of both my needs and others needs as well.

Alex listens deeply and draws on her knowledge and experience to tailor each session to what comes up for you—what she refers to as “what’s alive” for you in that moment. Most importantly she creates a safe space to be curious about what’s going on with you, and offers valuable resources and exercises to continue your inner work and grow self-intimacy between sessions. In my time with Alex, I’ve regrown self-trust and regained my sense of wholeness. I’m grateful for the space she holds for me to be, and the safety I feel in her presence.

Alex is poised and compassionate. She hears your words and truly extracts your heart’s voice. She has the most amazing ability to help you process your biggest judgments, fears, worries and link them back to your own feelings and needs. The work I’ve done with Alex has been literally life changing. I am so grateful for this journey that has uncovered my confidence, peace and meaning once again.
